NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro police say a man is on the run after he allegedly shot and killed a 25-year-old man at an apartment complex on Maudina Avenue Saturday night.

MNPD says 25-year-old Christopher Rhodes was moving furniture with his girlfriend when an altercation took place. According to information police gathered from witnesses, the argument stemmed from an ongoing dispute.

At some point police say the suspect shot Rhodes and then drove away. Rhodes was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died.

This is the second shooting at that location in just four days. A 20-year-old man was shot Thursday night.
He's expected to be okay. There's no suspect in that case either.

At least four shootings have been reported at the complex since the start of the year. We'll be sure to keep you updated if we learn more about an arrest in both of these cases.

The skies were closed on 9/11. A Nashville phone call helped save a baby’s life

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
